SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:
On 032506 at approximately 1944 hours, Deputy
Kachajian was in the vicinity of Route 104 and Toof Road
in the Town of Fairfax running radar when he observed a
blue Subaru Forester, being operated by Jasen Morin,
traveling at a speed at which the deputy estimated to be in
excess of the 50 mph zone for that area. Cruiser radar
soon showed that the vehicle in question was traveling at
80 mph in the 50 mph zone. Deputy Kachajian
subsequently pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road
and spoke with the operator about the violation. The
Sheriff’s Office dispatch later informed the deputy that
DMV records were indicating that Mr. Morin’s license in
Vermont was criminally suspended twice for life. As a
result of further investigation at the scene of the stop, it
was determined that Mr. Morin was driving his vehicle
under the influence of alcohol. Mr. Morin was later placed
under arrest and transported to the Sheriff’s Office in
St. Albans for processing. Mr. Morin was released on a
citation to appear for the charges of DUI-Alcohol, Criminal
License Suspension and Excessive Speed. The operator
was also issued a speeding ticket.
